[Intro] [Verse 1] Midnight is ticking, the city's asleep But I'm wide awake with a secret to keep Your scent on my collar, the ring off your hand Building a castle out of shifting sand [Muted chopped string stab on offbeats, trap kick punching beneath] I know that it's wrong, yeah, I know it's a crime But I lose my mind when your body's on mine [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the shadow we hide in is starting to fade Paying the price for the promises made Yeah, we're burning the bridge just to feel the flame [Chorus] Guilty... but I want you closer Yeah, it's a beautiful sin, let the music begin again Caught up in the middle of a love that can't win Oh, I'm guilty... but I can't let you go [Falsetto harmony: No, I can't let you go] [Verse 2] I pull up my coat as I step in the rain Trying to wash off the pleasure and pain She's heading home with a heart to break How many lies can a good man take? Every touch is a whisper, every kiss is a scar We're wishing for heaven under a fallen star [Pre-Chorus] And the shadow we hide in is starting to fade Yeah, we're paying the price for the choices we made God help me, I'm calling your name [Chorus] Guilty... but I want you closer Yeah, it's a beautiful sin, let the music begin again Caught up in the middle of a love that can't win Oh, I'm guilty... but I can't let you go [Bridge] Should've walked away... (walked away) But the taste of your lips makes me stay... (makes me stay) It's a bittersweet ache in my chest No peace, no sleep, no rest... [Outro] Oh, feel so guilty... Forgive me, baby But I need it... I need it...
